FOREWORD. 

In presenting- this list of tours for the consideration of those 
who take delight in viewing nature's beauty spots, and also of 
the many who it is hoped they will interest, I feel the security 
that comes from years of travel in stating that nowhere on 
eartli can more beautiful or more diversified scenery be found 
within tlie very portals of a great city than that with which 
San Francisco is favored. It is simply to see and then become 
charmed, not with its awe-inspiring greatness, but with its deli- 
cate refinement of mountain, vale and dell, of ocean, beach, 
lake, river and rippling brook. For the botanist these tours are 
incomparable on account of the almost endless variety of wild 
flowers. On Mount Tamalpais and its slopes alone there are 
over a thousand varieties of flowering- shrubs, plants and trees. 
The geologist will find his time well occupied, and the ento- 
mologist can pursue the elusive bug to the heart's content. No 
more delightful surf bathing than that at the beaches visited 
could l)e desired. More diversified scenery is to be obtained 
from the summit of Mount Tamalpais than from any other one 
peak in the world, while at its southwestern base, in Muir 
Woods, are giant redwoods, some of which tower into the 
heavens 350 feet and are from three to four thousand years old. 

The northern slope of the mountain contains canons and 
gorges unexcelled for beauty, their banks covered with ferns 
from the delicate gold -back, maiden-hair and five-finger to the 
giant woodw-ardia. A seemingly endless variety of wild flowers 
is everywhere. The Berkeley Hills are no less beautiful from 
a scenic and botanical standpoint than the places previously 
described. 

The enchantment of Killarney's lakes and dells have been 
told us thru song and rhyme for g-enerations. Had I the gift 
of verse, songs would tell also of lakes more charming than song 
ever told of before, and the names of Lagunitas. Lake San 
Andreas, Crystal Spring and Pilarcitos the beautiful — than which 
Como, kissed by its soft, Italian skies, was never more charm- 
ing — would resound to the four corners of earth. The La 
Hondas, Big Basin and their environments are too well known, 
it seems to me, to dwell at length upon their claims for admi- 
ration. And I must not lose sight of the fact that Napa County 
and points northerly must come in for their share of commen- 
dation. For the artist with pallet and brush, or for those who 
are camera devotees, w'onderful views and effects are to be 
secured. It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the physical ben- 
efit to be derived thru taking- these walks— that is beyond 
question. 

In arranging the tours in the order in which they occur, I 
have endeavored to make them as diversified as possible, also, 
as seasonable, starting: No. 1 January 1st, No. 2 one week, 
later, and so on. • 

Responsible people may obtain passes to explore the Spring 
Valley lakes from the secretary, Mr. J. E. Behan, and are made 
welcome. 

Young ladies' social clubs, botany classes and boys' clubs 
can make arrangements for conduct over any of the tours by 
phone. Pacific L'133, or by mail to 220 Clayton Street, and can 
feel assured of the greatest protection and consideration. 

As these tours extend over private property, let all who 
accept the privilege show their appreciation by leaving lunching 
places spotlessly clean. 

Yours for joy on the trail, 

FRED S. ROBBINS.
